Would this help ...
set the_settings_file to (path to me as text) & ":Contents:Resources:settings-16-9.set"
I got it working, but I'm confused as to why. I was setting a global variable to "(path to me) & ":Contents:Resources:settings-16-9.set" outside of the run block (turns out it was the run block, not the process block, that was the issue). Then I did the export within the run block using that variable as the settings file. The export happened and QT didn't throw any errors, but it didn't use the settings file.
When I moved the statement "export...using settings file..." to inside the run block, then it worked fine.
'path to ...' always returns an alias. Concatenating an 'alias' followed with 'text' may be confusing to AppleScript. You could also do this ...
property the_settings_file : alias ((path to me as text) & ":Contents:Resources:settings-16-9.set")
export to new_file as QuickTime movie using settings the_settings_file
I'm curious what application you are telling to export ?
